    Cheese Enchiladas

    We moved to Chesterfield 23 years ago and we've been going to Salina's since then! It's our friendly "neighborhood" restaurant. Patti has worked there all of these years and she's not just a great server, she's a great person. She remembers everybody, what they drink, etc. They have a good sized menu. I like that they have a lunch menu with items I like, but are smaller portions. It's family friendly and there's outdoor seating. It's a popular spot and can fill up quickly. The service is great, the food is hot, and the margaritas are cold! I don't like refried beans, but the bean dip they serve with chips and salsa is so good! Even when it's crowded, it rarely seems too loud. It's one of our go-to places and I don't see that changing any time soon!

    The holy trinity.  Beans, salsa, and queso.

    Where to go on St Patty's day when all the bar and grills are swamped... Mexican, Chinese, and sushi are the logical choices... Right? Lol We were staying at a hotel in Chesterfield and had looked up a BBQ joint, but didn't realize it was carry out only. Salinas Mexican was across the parking lot. Talk about dumb luck while traveling. This place aligns with some of out favorite Mexican places in the Des Moines IA metro. Fast service, laid back atmosphere, quick service, fresh and hot food! I will echo what one previous reviewer said... The salsa does have a tinge of marinara to it, but with queso and refried beans this is easily overlooked. If we're in the Chesterfield area again this is a place we'd hit again if the craving for Mexican food hit.

    Haven't been here in a long time but I'm glad I came back after the hiatus. Chili Relleno was great as was the extra taco ordered to supplement the meal. Great selection of beers too. Looking forward to the next visit.

    Great food and service. Had a chimichanga and it was crunchy with each bite. Girl had the enchiladas and crispy taco. She said it was great

We had the option of both dinner menu or lunch menu which was nice. Basically, smaller portions/prices for lunch. And they always have specials so we had plenty of choices. What a great experience. It was pretty empty because of the time of day. Maybe 5 tables of folks. We were greeted with a smile and welcome by a hostess. Our service and server wwere terrific. I apologize for not remembering your name (tall, thin, blonde hair, big smile). thanks for a great experience. :) Chips and salsa were brought to the table. Homemade chips and one of the best salsas around. The right amount of heat and sweet with a nice texture. We munched while we considered our options,' My daughter ordered the Enchiladas Espinaca y Hongos mushroom & spinach , my future son-in-law ordered the Blackened Salmon with jalapeno butter and cheesey potatoes and salad, while I had the Burrito de Pescado Special and chose the optional roasted pablano cream sauce, All the dishes were right on. Flavors popped and inviting. I had the dinner portion of the burrito Pescado. It was enormous. A complete lunch to take home or two people could easily share. The salmon with jalapeno sauce was cooked absolutely perfect. Sauce amazing. The spinach mushroom enchiladas sweet and earthy with chipotle mushroom cream sauce and Chihuahua cheese rocked the house. Our server was on the spot checking in on us and taking care of everything constantly. This visit was a reminder how great Espinos is. And a reminder I need to come back for the duck tacos and duck enchiladas!

    All that and no guac?…read more Went to this location to celebrate a colleague's birthday. Prior to coming here, I came to the realization that not only am I a brussel sprouts and chocolate chip cookie connoisseur, but I can now add fajitas to the list as well. We'll start with the positive: -decent chips and salsa. Chips were sturdy but the salsa had little flavor. I'd give them a 2.5/5. -they were decent with the refills of water but due to it being so hot outside AND inside, the ice melted quickly. -we got a few pitchers of the wild berry margarita and surprisingly, it was really good. Unfortunately, due to the heat and us getting it over the rocks, it melted quickly. Room for improvement: -better circulation of air in the restaurant. I'm amazed at how hot it was and there wasn't one person in that place that wasn't sweating. AC in the Stl summer is a necessity, so beware if you choose to go. - this is the first time EVER that I've gotten fajitas and it didn't come with guac. Not even the little scoop that you usually get on the salad! NOTHING. The fajitas were pretty good; they had a decent amount of seasoning but the rice was relatively bland. Overall, I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Not the best but it could certainly be better.
